Day 1364: Foot-in-Mouth Disease

“Words are like toothpaste; once they come out there’s no putting them back where they came from.” – Unknown

 

It’s 1  : 57 PM on day 1364 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go back to bed  – some days I wake up freakishly early and can’t go back to sleep so I just lay in bed staring at the ceiling waiting for a more reasonable time to get up – feed myself egg with bread  for breakfast, pray,  read Psalm 51,  publish my Disability of the Day feature,  publish my Kid of the Week feature and promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still on $819.54 in spite of my best efforts to get the to get the total raised moving (sigh).

 

Today I realized I have foot-in-mouth disease I speak with the best of intentions and it gets taken completely the wrong way from now onwards I’m going to think about what I’m going to say a thousand times before I say it. Do you sometimes speak before you think and regret it afterwards?
